if the motor ain't froze up i'm betting on the switch . lol

Sometimes water in the motor housing will cause it to have a voltage drop and not run also.

I am learning as i go . G just giving DD a hard time mostly . lol

Ok Donald ..... Start with the simple stuff. Fiberglass, take baby powder rub it on your arms heavily,it will keep the fiberglass from getting in your pours and minimize the itching Now. To your problem ... It is hard to diagnosis an issue so far away. Start the simple stuff. Corrosion etc. If that does not fix it, then you go back and start from the source.
Sometimes batteries will show a 12 v surface chrg and have a bad cell Put a load on it your voltage will drop out.
I would suggest you take all 3 batteries out of the boat and take them to auto zone, napa or whoever and have them load test them. That's where I would would start.... Let me know how it goes..........your friend in CUP........

I hear ya bud....well DD ought to know...your not supposed to run a fresh water TM in salt water. He Needs a RipTide Terrova ( the white one) ....they have different seals etc.
